Microsoft Exchange Server provides a foundation for shared address lists through the global address list; enter outside addresses as custom recipients. If everyone is using Microsoft Outlook, you can also create public folders for sharing contacts.
If you don't have Exchange Server, beyond the tools listed below, you might consider using:
- An LDAP server -- especially if you have a Windows 2000 server running Active Directory, which is Outlook can access with its LDAP service. See Shared address book with Active Directory.
- Net Folders (Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 only and not fully reliable)
- A web-based contact list with a synchronization feature
- Using the Briefcase to Share Microsoft Outlook Folders
As noted above, for Exchange Server users, the Global Address List or a public Contacts folder provide a built-in means for Exchange Server users to tap into a shared address list. These tools can take it one step further by synchronizing the GAL or a Contacts folder with other contact databases or synchronizing user Contacts folders with a public folder.

how can i send newsleter from publishers to mails directly ?
From Microsoft Publisher? File, Send should work but note that Publisher generates really bad emails. It turns everything into pictures. It's better to use a realy HTML editor or even design it in Outlook.
